Is a cheetah diurnal or nocturnal?

Answer 1

Cheetahs are diurnal, unlike most cats, which are either nocturnal or are equally active during the day and the night.

Answer 2

They prefer to hunt juring the day, because they use speed to catch their prey and need to see well. Many cats hunt at night, because they stalk their prey longer than cheetahs do.

Answer 3

Generally, cheetahs are diurnal except in areas that are intensely hot where they prefer to hunt at night when it is cooler.
